Blogging about the daily stresses and strains of a tiler, and generally throwing in some tips and tricks to help others with their tiling, Adam Philips (AKA Onlinetiler) gives us a video or so per week to watch.

This week we’ve been luck and had two video’s, and here they are.

Let down by Contractor on a Mosaic job:-

And Adam’s first help video:-

A big thankyou to Adam for doing this, we all hope more tilers join in soon.

You can follow Adam on Twitter, Tumblr and Youtube. And he’s recently signed up to our Tile Forum and his account can be found under Onlinetiler. We’ve also created a thread that you can follow on the forum, Onlinetiler.

    So that is why i ( david howe tiling) only use the best supplier i can.

    That supplier is perfect home and garden in shildon county durham.

    The owner is David sowerby, and David only sells the best quality stone, be it tiles or paving and David has a good selection of stone onsale to the public and trade.

    Established to bring you the best stone products from around the world at the best possible prices.

    Perfect home and garden do not claim to be the cheapest stone supplier around because they do not deal in the cheapest low quality stone. What they do supply is top quality stone and accessory products at very competitive prices.

    The cost or time involved in installing your new tiles or paving does not reduce if you buy cheap low quality stone, in fact it may even increase due to higher scrap rates or poor sizing, so why compromise and then regret it every time you look at it.

    At Perfect Home and Garden they have spent the time sourcing top quality stone directly from some of the best suppliers around the world so that you can have a wall or floor that you can be proud of for many years to come.

    Patios & Paving

    Create that spectacular garden area from a beautiful selection of stone for external use. From patio paving to cobbles and setts, to circle, octagon and star features, they can supply everything you need to create your perfect garden.

    In The Home

    Whether it’s for floor or wall they have a wide range of stunning natural stones in a variety of colours, finishes and sizes to suit every taste and setting. Give your home that added elegance and character of natural stone at prices that won’t break the bank.

    In addition to the stone they also supply everything you need to fit, maintain and even heat your new stone floor. We stock a range of quality Mapei adhesives, sealants and grouts specifically suited to natural stone.

    Underfloor heating is a fantastic addition to stone flooring and we can supply the complete Uheat package including insulation sheets, heatmats or cables, thermostats and levelling compounds.

    This shows that those searching for such terms are searching much much less. In fact the February searches are more than 40% down compared to the initial month in February when our website www.uktilersworld.co.uk first went live.

    On the first page of Google 50% of the 10 links are websites of ours and collating all stats on all the websites gives an even worse outcome for the term ‘TilerWorld’ and all terms similar.

    If this continues it would suggest that people are searching a lot less for the website than they used to be when it was first launched. And we’re hearing all the time about tilers not getting work through such websites which can only be a result of the current climate and leading websites in the advice field increasing in traffic suggests that more and more people are looking for information regarding DIY tiling, and less are looking for professional wall and floor tilers.
